Great night last night -- a fun group who all enjoyed. The dinner was killer btw, and quite a few dining at Norma's. As for the beach, it has shrunk for sure. There is enough beach in front of seasplash for a comfortable row of loungers, and still plenty of room for walking and hanging - in other words, smaller than usual but not a tight squeeze yet. However, Tree House and Country Country are absolutely no beach - the walking there requires going up and over the sandbags which is not so awful, just a small challenge! The first time I walked that way I chose the water route vs the sand bags and was sorry. Looked like a little old lady taking such careful baby steps to avoid the rocks in the water there. People were watching from shore, I'm sure thinking "that lady looks like she needs help" but I just went slow and on the way back I took the (easier) sand bag route. Today I'll walk north though.

Buzzbag -- I will share your greetings with all. It's true that we wait for the right airfare to show up -- but every year we happen upon people we didn't expect and meet new ... our time will come to meet I'm sure. Ms. Ann McLeod joined us last night with her lovely husband Andrew. And a couple of hysterical ladies from Montreal and others -- and a new friend and his son, also from Canada, who showed up mid-party with his own sound system, shut down the bar sound, and started blasting tunes. Once we toned him down a bit, he added a lot to the hi-energy buzz (smiling). Monday a whole group of people are excited to go to Abeokuta. Very excited about that as I've never gone on a single trip beyond Negril in 17 years. Just never wanted to leave the beach for any amount of time. Our farthest point reached has been Jackies on the Reef. But Monday we'll head 40 minutes from Negril. You'll all seen the pics - the beauty of this place has caught my attention, so we will go.

Going to Treehouse the breakfast buffet, which is the best as it keeps us full all day. They have a church that meets there on Sunday and I've always wanted to go -- so I'm putting on real clothes, and once church starts I'll decide -- largely dependent on the singing I must admit. I like a church with a lot of singing and action ; )
